PiloFocus: Dr. Carlos Wesley

[HairTalk]

Anybody know where I can find some great body hair transplant results? I would love to see some.

I know Jotronic is not the biggest fan of this; he says it should be a last resort if you run out of scalp donors.. the problem is that it still looks like body hair on the top of your head (since it keeps its "body hair" DNA).

If I can find some great results, I would consider it.. maybe in the crown region... since the crown is like a black hole that sucks donors.. ughghh.

There also is the problem of punctate scarring, which could be tougher to conceal from non-scalp donor areas.

They recently updated their website. I guess they are still working on it. You can always try after few days...meanwhile have a look at this...

Body hair alone would cure me completely. I've got 6,000 grafts available from my legs ALONE to use for hair. That, coupled with 5,000 grafts from donor (on the low end) would effectively cure me.... but I'm not even an NW6, let alone NW4... I'm at NW3.

My nape hair alone would add all the density I could want for :P

Well regeneration or not, we should be able to extract much more grafts, grafts out of the safe zone, and hopefully body hair with better survival due to it being scarless.

I'm positive we will get some degree of regeneration. I just don't know how much...but even 20-30% would be huge!

Let's put it this way;

If the average area of balding scalp is 200cm/2, then the required number of grafts to cover this at a low density such as 40 grafts/cm2 would be 8,000 grafts. If an individual has typically 5,000 grafts available (this is being generous as its on the lower end) then 30% of that would allow for an additional 1,666 grafts. However, this is assuming we only use maximum donor amount.... because when regeneration comes into play, we can extract much more... say, 7,000 and allow the 30% to regenerate and you'd be safe.

Furthermore, if Pilofocus works as mentioned and we can expand on donor grafts available, then we can go beyond the small 5,000 grafts number and consequently go beyond that as well with initial regeneration.

But this is all irrelevant as we've been hearing about Acell for years and haven't seen a single documented case of this working that WASN'T a promotional piece from a doctor advertising the treatment. Essentially, this would need a community funded/sponsored/documented 50 graft trial.

That's exactly what he is doing. Small cases, tattoos, exactly what everyone was asking Gho to do.

Well... I dont have high hopes for this, but if it works.... oh my, that'd finally be a real and long overdue game changer.

As I understand, Dr. Wesley intends to track the donor area with tattooing/marking.

I don't think it's at all impossible to measure this, provided the harvesting leaves a small region completely devoid of hair, and the hairs are transplanted to a totally hairless area of the scalp. Count the number of harvested grafts pre-op., then count what re-grows in the donor area and in the recipient area.

I would be amazed if regeneration can even be tracked. Follicle from donor to recipient area would need to be tracked. Heck, a transfer graft grows in 3-12 months so you would think a regenerated graft/follicle would take longer to form then grow. I was more interested in Acell for healing and to reduce scar tissue. Regeneration was not on my radar but would be great if it did.

Cost needs to be driven down before regeneration.
